We went back to our home town about three weeks ago, and Belinda dug out some of our old photos - photos of our farewell when we left Melbourne back in 1994.
And then the picture we took when we first returned to Malaysia.
Ironic, isn't it? The day we left Melbourne to return to Malaysia does not seem too long ago. Now we are leaving Malaysia and going back to Melbourne.
Thing is, of course, life has moved on for the friends that we left behind back in 1994. Some of them returned, some of them stayed on; but all of them have moved on with their lives.
Then, there was another farewell picture - this time when we left Negeri Sembilan. Life has moved on for them, too.
That is the price we pay when we move from one place to another.
And in our lives, we have moved a few times. From our home towns to Melbourne, from Melbourne to Pahang, from Pahang to Negeri Sembilan, from Negeri Sembilan to where we are now. And now it is a full cycle back to Melbourne.
My good friend and ex-colleague, Vimalan, has a wise saying. Well, he has more than a wise saying; but this is one of them. There are cycles in life - one of the cycles is this, the cycle of life, of birth and death, of coming and going ...

You haven't seemed to change much - and I recognize your T-shirt (Seremban pix). You still have it :-)
